It could be a spoonful of coffee

It could be a spoonful a-tea

But one little spoon

Of your precious love

Is good enough for me

Men lie about that spoonful

Some cry about that spoonful

Some die about that spoonful

Ev ＇ rybody fight about a spoonful

That spoon that spoon

It could be a spoonful a-water

To save you from the desert sand

But one spoon of lead

From my forty-five

Will save you from another man

Men lie-ii about that spoonful

Some cry-ii about that spoonful

Some die-ii about that spoonful

But one little spoon

Of your precious love
